A. SAMPLE DETERMINATIONS TO IDENTIFY WATER QUALITY LIMITING LAKES

PURPOSE. THE PURPOSE OF THE FOLLOWING IS TO DETERMINE THOSE LAKES WHERE A DENSITY OF ONE DWELLING UNIT PER 150* FEET OF SHORELINE OF THE LAKE WOULD INCREASE THE PHOSPHORUS CONCENTRATION OF THE LAKE WATER BY 5 PARTS PER BILLION OR MORE.

Method. The maximum change in phosphorus loading will be determined by:

(1) (L = (P x DA x R

where ( = change

L = phosphorus loading

(P = phosphorus concentration

(P = .005 grams/meters3 (approximately equivalent to 5 parts per billion)

R = run-off coefficient (average annual run-off)

DA = drainage area

Assuming 1/4 time occupancy, four people per dwelling, and a contribution of .4 x 103 grams of phosphorus per person per year to the body of water, the water quality limitation to shoreline development is:

(2) max. (L = number of dwelling units

.4 x 103 grams per year

If development was allowed to a density of 1 dwelling unit per 150 feet of shoreline, the maximum number of dwellings allowed according to shoreline length only would be:

(3) shoreline length = number of dwelling units

150 feet

If (3) is greater than (2), the lake is a water quality limiting lake;

If (2) is greater than (3), the lake is not a water quality limiting lake;

_________________

* Since the minimum shore lot frontage on Great Ponds is 150 feet measured as a straight line between the points of intersection of side lot lines with the normal high water mark of the shoreline, and due to the irregularity of shoreline, the actual average shoreline measure along the normal high water mark for such lot is estimated to be 150 feet.

Sample 1

Madawaska Lake, Aroostook County

Characteristics:

Drainage area = 82.9 x 106m2

Run-off coefficient = .5 m/year

Shoreline length = 54,000 feet

(P = .005 grams

Calculations:

(1) Maximum (L = 20.7 x 104 grams per year.

(2) Number of dwelling units allowed based on water quality limitations = 518 dwelling units.

(3) Number of dwelling units allowed based on shoreline length = 360 dwelling units.

Result: Madawaska Lake is not a water quality limiting lake.

Sample 2

Tomah Lake, Washington County

Characteristics:

Drainage Area = 1.8 x 106m2

Run-off coefficient = .6 m/year

Shoreline length = 7,000 feet

(P = .005 grams

Calculations:

(1) Maximum (L = 5.4 x 103 grams per year.

(2) Number of dwelling units allowed based on water quality limitations = 14 dwelling units.

(3) Number of dwelling units allowed based on shoreline length = 47 dwelling units.

Result: Tomah Lake is a water quality limiting lake.

B. GUIDELINES FOR VEGETATIVE STABILIZATION

AREAS OF DISTURBED SOIL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AREAS THAT ARE FILLED, GRADED OR OTHERWISE DISTURBED DURING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, SHOULD BE STABILIZED ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES. THESE GUIDELINES DO NOT APPLY TO FOREST MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES AND ARE NOT STRICT REGULATIONS, AND THEREFORE ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF STABILIZING SOIL MAY BE USED. HOWEVER, WHENEVER SOIL STABILIZATION OR STABILIZATION OF DISTURBED AREAS IS REQUIRED BY REGULATION OR BY THE TERMS OF INDIVIDUAL PERMITS, INDIVIDUALS MUST ASSURE THAT EITHER THESE GUIDELINES, OR MEASURES EQUALLY EFFECTIVE IN STABILIZING DISTURBED AREAS OF SOIL ARE EMPLOYED.

The goals to be achieved by proper stabilization are the avoidance of accelerated soil erosion and the avoidance of sedimentation or pollution of water bodies. All stabilization measures must be maintained so that grass or other vegetation remains intact and healthy, otherwise these measures will be ineffective.

In general:

1. Sterile soils such as sands and gravels should be covered with 2 to 4 inches of soil medium that will support vegetative growth.

2. Disturbed soil areas should be graded such that runoff water is either minimized or eliminated from running over the site.

3. Disturbed areas which can be seeded between May 1 and September 15 should be prepared and seeded during that period.

4. Disturbed areas which cannot be seeded between May 1 and September 15 should be mulched with hay, straw or some other suitable material to keep them as stable as possible over the winter, and particularly during spring runoff the following year. For over-wintering, mulch must be tacked down, as it is easily blown around on frozen ground, leaving areas of soil exposed. Mulch hay should be applied at a depth of 4 inches, or between 150 to 200 lbs. per 1,000 square feet, over the disturbed site. Mulched over-wintered areas should be prepared and seeded the following spring as soon as conditions allow.

It is not recommended that disturbed areas be seeded after September 15th (“dormant seeding”) for a number of reasons. Among the reasons, seeding rates are doubled, which is more expensive; timing is critical to ensure that germination does not occur before the following spring; there is an increased risk of sedimentation because sites are generally wetter in the fall; the thicker mulch must be removed in the spring in order to allow the germinating seed to survive; and the application of fertilizer during this time increases the risk of leaching or runoff loss of nutrients into water bodies.

5. Seeding preparation, in addition to providing a soil medium that will support vegetative growth if the site is sterile, includes the application of lime and fertilizer, which should be lightly raked prior to seeding. After the area is seeded, it should be lightly watered and then mulched with 70 to 90 lbs. (2 standard bales) per 1,000 square feet of weed free hay or straw to protect the seed. Keep the site stable and moist, and allow the seed to germinate and grow.

6. For accurate liming as well as fertilization, it is recommended that you have the soil analyzed to determine the specific nutrient requirements of your site.

Lime should be applied at a rate of approximately 140 pounds to 1,000 square feet of area. This rate may vary depending on the natural conditions of the soil on the site. 10-5-20 fertilizer should be applied at a rate of 18.5 lbs. per 1,000 square feet of area. Following the establishment of vegetation, non-phosphorous fertilizer should be used in accordance with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection’s recommendations.

7. In shoreland areas in particular, fertilizers should be of the "quick release" low phosphorus type, such as 12-4-8 mixtures applied at a rate of 8 pounds per 1,000 square feet of area. If you are near water bodies, it is important not to apply more than approximately this amount of fertilizer, as excess may be washed into streams or lakes and contribute to lowering water quality and such things as algae blooms in lakes.

Following the establishment of vegetation, non-phosphorous fertilizer should be used in accordance with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection’s recommendations.

Fertilizers should never be applied right before thunder storms or before spring runoff, because the great amounts of water running over the land will wash the fertilizer, particularly phosphorus, into water bodies. However, a light watering after the fertilizer is applied will help bind the phosphorus to the soil.

8. There are many combinations of grasses that can be used. One combination particularly good for providing soil stability, generally referred to as the Soil Conservation Mixture, consists of: (Proportions, by weight)

Creeping Red Fescue 35% Kentucky Bluegrass 25%

Annual Rye Grass 15% Perennial Rye Grass 10%

Red Top 10% White Dutch Clover 5%

* Oats - See Below

This seed would be applied at a rate of 1 pound per 1,000 square feet. These particular grasses do best if mowed no closer than 2-1/2 to 3 inches from the ground. Of course, other seed mixtures are available.

It is important, in choosing a mixture, to choose one suitable for the site being stabilized. There are many different types of seeding mixtures designed for particular site conditions such as shade, sun, and drainage. Any mix should contain some seed which germinates rapidly to provide the quickest stabilization possible while awaiting the germination of the remaining types.

(*) For quick germination, oats are very good. They germinate in 7 to 10 days. They should be planted at a rate of approximately 1 to 1-1/2 bushels per acre, in addition to the basic grass mixture. Oats should be mowed when they reach knee height to allow the germinating grasses to receive sunlight.

Alternatives:

As indicated above, other stabilization programs may be used, provided they are equivalently effective in stabilizing disturbed areas and preventing accelerated soil erosion and sedimentation of water bodies. Further assistance may be obtained, including in some cases site-specific recommendations, as follows:

Appendix G Designated areas of Cultural or Special Significance (DacSS)

1. DESIGNATED AREA OF CULTURAL OR SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE (DACSS). AREAS OF CULTURAL OR SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE MAY BE DESIGNATED BY THE COMMISSION TO FACILITATE EXPANSION, RECONSTRUCTION OR REPLACEMENT, OR RELOCATION OF STRUCTURES THAT PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC BENEFITS TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. A DACSS IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE DISCRETE GEOGRAPHIC AREAS WITH SIGNIFICANT CULTURAL OR OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES. ONCE INCLUDED IN A DACSS, A STRUCTURE MAY BE EXPANDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.11,C,1,C, RECONSTRUCTED OR REPLACED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.11,C,2,F, AND RELOCATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.11,C,3, OF THE COMMISSION’S RULES. DESIGNATION OF AN AREA AS A DACSS DOES NOT PRECLUDE EXPANSION, RECONSTRUCTION OR REPLACEMENT, OR RELOCATION OF LEGALLY EXISTING NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH OTHER APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 10.11.

a. Designation Criteria. The Commission shall designate an area of cultural or special significance upon finding that a proposed area meets the following criteria:

1) The proposed area is an iconic location containing features that convey a sense of time or place to residents or visitors;

2) The proposed area is a geographically definable area or neighborhood composed of a finite group of related features that have a special character, historical interest, or aesthetic value; and

3) The proposed area provides a significant public benefit, per Section 1,b.

b. Contributing Factors. When evaluating whether an area proposed for designation provides a significant public benefit, as required by Appendix G, Section 1,c the Commission shall consider the factors listed below. The Commission may find an area provides a significant public benefit even if the area does not include features satisfying all of the factors set forth in (1) through (4) below, provided the evidence offered for a particular factor or subset of factors is compelling. In applying these factors, the Commission may consider, among other evidence, documentation such as published books, magazines, academic writings, or newspaper articles; other historic records identifying the value of the feature or area; and visual depictions such as postcards, images or paintings. The Commission also may receive testimony by persons with special knowledge about applicable factors.

1) Cultural: Buildings, improvements or other features that exemplify or reflect a group of people linked together by shared values, traditional uses, beliefs, and historical associations;

2) Historic: Represents a distinct historical period, type, style, region, or way of life; is the site of an important historical event, or is associated with historic events that have made a meaningful contribution to the nation, state, or community; or represents a specific business or use, which either once was common but now is rare, or continues to have historical value as it currently operates.

3) Architectural or Engineering: Exemplifies a particular architectural style or way of life, construction materials or engineering methods used to build features, or embodies elements of outstanding attention to architectural or engineering design, detail, material, or craftsmanship.

4) Neighborhood or Geographic Setting: The proposed area is in a unique location, or represents an established and familiar visual feature of the community that draws residents and visitors, or structures or features within the designated area include singular physical characteristics.

c. Procedural Requirements. In accordance with Chapter 4 of the Commission’s Rules, Rules of Practice, Section 4.06, any person may petition the Commission for designation of an area as a DACSS. Petitions must be in writing and identify the area proposed for designation, specify the purpose of the proposed designation, and explain how the designation conforms with the criteria set forth in Appendix G, Section1,a. In addition to notification requirements described in Section 4.06(5) upon receiving a petition to designate a proposed area the Commission shall notify: (i) property owners within the area proposed as a DACSS; (ii) the municipality or plantation where the designated area is proposed; (iii) the county if located in an unorganized township; (iv) appropriate state and federal agencies, to be determined by the Commission; and (v) tribal governments. Upon designation of an area as a DACSS, a description of the designated area, its purpose, and the facts substantiating the Commission’s finding that the applicant satisfied the criteria in Appendix G, Section 1,a shall be listed in Appendix G, Section 2 of this chapter.

d. Removal of Designation. Upon petition in accordance with Chapter 4 of the Commission’s Rules, Rules of Practice, Section 4.06, the Commission may remove a designation of a DACSS when the Commission finds that the DACSS no longer meets the purpose of the DACSS listed in Appendix G, Section 2, of this chapter or no longer provides a significant public benefit based on the factors in Appendix G, Section 1,b,(1) through (4).

2. Designated Areas. The following areas have been designated as a DACSS in accordance with the procedure described in Appendix G, Section 1.

a. Grand Lake Stream Plantation Boathouses and Waterfront. Grand Lake Stream Plantation is a place where fishing, boating, access to water, and a strong connection to the past are key components of its identity and culture and very important to its residents, as well as the large number of visitors that come to the community each year. It is a place to which people from all over the world travel for its culture, its beauty, and importantly, the "old-time feeling" that makes it special.

1) Designation Purpose. The purpose of listing the Grand Lake Stream shorefront as a designated area is to provide the community an opportunity to sustain the boathouses located on the iconic southern shoreline of West Grand Lake that symbolize key components of its culture, and history, and that convey a tranquil "old-time feeling" for the people that live in and visit the community, and contribute to Grand Lake Stream Plantation’s quality of life and sense of place.

2) Geographic Boundaries. The designated area includes all structures within its boundaries that are legally existing as of the effective date of this rule amendment. The designated area specifically includes the two public boat launches and excludes the man-made dam and any portion thereof, and is composed of the following two sub-areas:

a) Western sub-area. Extends northerly and westerly from the intersection of the driveway for the public boat launch and centerline of Shaw Road, along the centerline of Shaw Road, to the point where Shaw Road crosses the inlet into Hatchery Cove; and extends on the lake side of the road, to the extent necessary to include all legally existing structures.

b) Eastern sub-area. Extends southerly from the end of Canal Street, along the centerline of Canal Street, to the center of the intersection of Canal Street and the driveway leading to the dam; and extends on the lake side of the road, to the extent necessary to include all legally existing structures.

3) Facts Substantiating Designation of Grand Lake Stream Plantation Boathouses and Waterfront as a Designated Area of Cultural or Special Significance.

a) The historic boat houses that have existed along the shoreline at the southern end of West Grand Lake since the early 1900's are part of what makes the area described in Appendix G, Section 2,a iconic. For residents and visitors, the boathouses reflect the community, its culture, and their shared value of traditional uses and an "old-time feeling."

b) The boathouses in Hatchery Cove are representative of the Maine Guiding Tradition and a specific way of life. They originally sheltered steamboats used to transport sportsmen and other visitors to remote lodges located around the lake. They have since been used to store boats for visiting sportsmen, including the famous Grand Laker Canoe, which was designed and built locally for conditions commonly found on the lake. Additionally, the boathouses have been used by property and business owners to supply camps and lodges located around the lake, and by the Maine Forest Service as a base for firefighting operations. Although privately owned and used, the community associates the boathouses with their past. One resident commented that all good stories start with “we were down at the boathouses ….”

c) The area described in Appendix G, Section 2,a,(1) is a unique geographic location and represents an established and familiar visual feature of the community that draws residents and visitors, and contributes to a high quality of life for residents and economic activity from tourism. Residents talk of children in the area, against the wishes of their parents, jumping from the boathouses into the lake. Fishermen visit the area to check the flow in the river and to launch their boats on the lake. Hikers, ATV riders, paddlers and snowmobilers use the area to access the many nearby recreational trails. Families and school groups come to swim and picnic. The community holds events at the waterfront such as fireworks displays and activities during the annual Grand Lake Stream Folk Arts Festival. Photographers have a single place where they can capture many of the important elements that contribute to the culture and sense of place that locals and visitors experience in the community. Residents describe this area as Grand Lake Stream’s “working waterfront,” and as the “core of the town.”
